FDP Statement on SB 7026 Passing House
FDP Chair Terrie Rizzo released the following statement after SB 7026 passed the Senate Monday evening:
“This is not the legislation the Parkland students fought for — this does not go far enough to protect our students from gun violence. What’s missing is real, comprehensive gun reform that will actually keep us safe, including universal background checks, closing the gun show loophole, and banning assault rifles. While the Garcia amendment may seem like it takes guns out of the classrooms — it is still placing more guns in schools by allowing school personnel such as custodians, bus drivers, librarians, counselors, coaches and others to carry.”
